Four Pinehurst firefighters received a departmental commendation at the May 23, 2017 Village Council meeting for their involvement in successful Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) calls. Following established EMS standards that are approved by the EMS System Medical Director, a successful CPR incident results in the patient being discharged from the hospital after the event. Moore County EMS verifies the status of patients and recognizes responding agencies annually.
